    Smashbox Arena is a fun experiment, but it is nothing more than that. The concept is fun and it works, but it does not offer enough content or quality to really speak to a bigger audience.

    Yakuza Kiwami is a great remake, but it is not amazing. Even for a Yakuza game it gets very repetitive and it simply does not have the same quality as the other games. A bit of an anticlimax.

    Mario + Rabbids: Battle Kingdom turned into a game that combines both original IPs in a very original way, while also adding the amazing strategic depth of a game like X-COM.

    Not just the fans, but anyone who is up for a fun race should definitely play F1 2017. This is one of the best ones ever made by Codemasters.

    LawBreakers is not an innovative shooter. It has many generic characters, boring surroundings and it borrows a lot of things from other games in the genre. It simply does not feel like a completely new IP.

    This is not a game to think about, this is a game you should play just for fun. There is a nice variation in Agents, but other than that it is pretty simplistic.

    Sundered is an amazing looking game that is not too convincing when it comes to gameplay. The combat lacks depth and there are only a few boss fights that are truly entertaining.

    After only two hours the mystery about Tacoma is solved, but the personal stories about the crew members definitely stick. The story might not be as brilliant as Gone Home's, the original way of storytelling is excellent.

    Yonder offers a beautiful world and a big heads-up to the bigger franchises of this planet. The fact that only three people developed it, make this game very special. It is too bad the search for Sprites is exhausting, cause otherwise this could have been a pretty awesome game.

    Miitopia brings the spunk of Mii's back and that offers a fun look into their lives. It is too bad the Mii's totally take away the spotlight, leaving you with too little to do.

    Hey! Pikmin is very clever when it comes to level design and introducing new Pikmin, but offers too little challenge. Even the boss fights are easy, which is a pity for a game that looks and feels this terrific.

    This is the ultimate version of a unique classic. The new version of the Zodiac Job system offers a custom feel to the game and really upgrades a few flaws from the original. Other than that this is like the original: a beautiful story filled with interesting characters.

    Splatoon 2 is exactly the same as the first game, which is disappointing. However, the gameplay and fresh style of Splatoon 2 make those feelings fade away quickly. It is so much fun to compete online.

    Micro Machines World Series only shortly let us tune into that nostalgic feeling thanks to its wonderful tracks and fun multiplayer modes. It makes it rather sad that there are too many bots and AI present and that the controls are so difficult.

    This could have been a pretty good zombie shooter, but it is coming up short on the technical side. This experience is giving VR its bad name: it confuses your head so much that you simply can't enjoy what this should be about: killing zombies.

    Get Even is so much more than just survival-horror and that makes things very interesting. Sometimes you have to do a lot of searching and backtracking, which can be frustrating, but mostly this is a thrilling catch-you-by-the-throat-kind of psychological video game.

    As a full package Dirt 4 is brilliant, mainly because of the options in making the behaviour of the cars exactly the way you want it to be. Well done Codemasters.

    It is not a new WipEout game, but we highly doubt we will ever get something better than the WipEout Omega Collection. This bundle offers three classics that are truly timeless. Excellent.

    ARMS has great potential, thanks to its original, fun and surprisingly complex fighting system. Online and offline this game is good, but future additions to this game will make Arms even more epic in six months from now.

    Star Trek: Bridge Crew makes Trekkie dreams come true: you can finally control a starship. It is a very quick adventure, but it is really good and it offers a social online multiplayer modes that will make you replay this game over and over again.

    Whether you like Tekken 7 will depend on your knowledge of Tekken. If you are a die hard fan waiting for something new and crazy to happen to the franchise, this will be a disappointment. If you are relatively new to the series and you just want to play with your friends or online, Tekken 7 will definitely do the trick.

    LocoRoco Remastered offers the same happy feelings it did eleven years ago. The graphics are terrific and the game is filled with catchy songs. There are no big changes or additions to the game, but for newcomers this is a definite yes.

    Shadows of Valentia has a rocky start, but after that it turns into an amazing game that is not afraid of taking risks. It has a colorful cast that is off to an interesting sidestep instead of following a beaten path.

    Injustice 2 is the best solo fighter of this moment. The story is thrilling, the gameplay is just as excellent as the first Injustice, though there have not been many changes to the fighting mechanism.

    Strafe looks like Quake when it comes to design and it refers to the classic first-person shooters from the 90's. However, as a roguelike and shooter Strafe is mainly a weak and unimpressive game.

    Prey is not a good shooter and the story does not really live up to our expectations. However, Talos I is an amazing place, thanks to the huge feeling of freedom you get in solving every problem totally your way.

    Sniper: Ghost Warrior 3 is exactly like it's predecessors. Sniping is excellent and apparently there is a big enough group of gamers that enjoy the games just for this, but we feel Ghost Warrior 3 is simply poor.

    Dreamfall Chapters Final Cut pulls you straight into the intriguing world of politics, but it struggles keeping things interesting towards the end. The puzzle design is frustrating and the personal interactions with the Stark and Arcadia peoples get a bit boring after a while.

    Starblood Arena is not original at all. The fact that this is a PS VR game and not many people have that tech yet, does not help either: you can't find any people to play with.

    Little Nightmares is a scary platformer with well thought through gameplay. The creepy atmosphere is so cool, we wish it would last longer.

    Giant Sparrow offers a masterpiece. This game is made perfectly and makes us feel so many different emotions at once. What Remains of Edith Finch is surely phenomenal.

    It's a cool adventure that ignore the trend of modern day 2D platformers just to offer a whole new world. The only problem is that the movement of the enemy is so annoying, that it is tough to stay motivated.

    Yooka-Laylee feels like an old Rare platformer, including many cool challenges, funny characters and colorful audiovisual design. The design of the levels, though, is a big let down. They are so frustrating that Yooka-Laylee is best played in short sessions.

    Persona 5 is more than a mix of life sim and JRPG: the game combines everything to tell an amazing story. Persona-fans expect this already, but Persona 5 takes things to the next level thanks to its intimate atmosphere.

    Andromeda was an opportunity to give the franchise a new impulse, but BioWare did not fully take it. The story is badly written and the amount of bugs is high. Other than that, Andromeda is an amazing Mass Effect journey.

    LEGO Worlds is a logical answer to Minecraft. Generally speaking LEGO does well in a virtual playground, as it offers a lot of options to keep you playing. However, technical issues and repetitive gameplay takes the possibility of a good flow out of the game.

    Mario Sport Superstars recycles a lot of things we have seen in other Mario-games and because of that it is not really a unique game. Most of the sports are okay, but it has all been done much better before.

    During the apex of Ghost Recon: Wildlands the open world and the tactical gameplay complement each other perfectly. However, we can't help but feel that Wildlands is the next game in many of Ubisofts standard open world games, with repetitive missions and boring collectibles.

    1-2-Switch will definitely get the party started, even though the quality of the minigames is low. The graphics and visual style are very attractive, but this game should have been a free launch game to show off the Joy-Cons.

    Resident Evil 7 honors the classic survival elements, and yet it feels modern thanks to the first person perspective. During confrontations you do not fight, you run, as fast as possible. A tense game that guarantees goose bumps all over your body.
